*fucks in*

Ah memories

*fucks off*

[Niall_Quinn]

Too much breaks down around Giroud.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Bestikas playing some neat stuff. Need to see this off and then do our stuff.

[Niall_Quinn]

Absolutely deliberate assault on Debuchy. Should have been red.

come on wake the fuck up

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fuck, Ba nearly scores a screamer. Well saved.

[Niall_Quinn]

ITVPlayer buffering again - what a useless "service"

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like the ref is going to let everything go. Some bumps and bruises to come, which is usual against these thuggish turks.

[adzzzbatch]

Chambers playing really well.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

come on wake the fuck up

First 45 mins were always going to be difficult. It's the biggest game of Bestikas season - they're always going to be up for it and chase and harry us from the blocks.


See out the first half, silence the crowd and then score a few in the second half like we did last year.
